We Make A Perfect Fit

A little vintage sewing card for my partner in crime.

Everyone needs a new summer dress and

I thought this would right up her alley.

My graphics come from the internet.

I used Spellbinder and Nestabilities dies, stamps are from

Crafty Secrets and Papertrey Ink.

I printed a real dress pattern onto brown tissue paper

and stuffed the dress envelope.

 

 

Thanks for popping in today, enjoy the Memorial Weekend.

Gesso resist-stamping technique

 

I’m in LOVE with this Gesso Resist technique thanks to Kim over at

Papery Petals you can check out her video there.

The large face image is from Innovative Stamp Creations, the large background stamp is from Stampin’ Up, the small images are from The Stamping Studio.

Distress Stains used were, Squeezed Lemonade, Bundled Sage, Faded Jeans and Tarnished Brass.

Thanks for your visit today, have a wonderful week end.

Wrinkle Free Distress Technique

Using Tim Holtz’s Wrinkle Free Distress Technique, which you can find

here I came up with this tag. 

This was way to fun and I will try again.

The colors of stains were Tarnished Brass, Broken China and Squeezed Lemonade. Using an embossing folder from Sizzix, (TH Alterations) I embossed the top and bottom of the tag, and rub on more Tarnished Brass Stain.

The Young Lady image and It Takes Courage are from Alluring Impressions. The remaining images are also from Tim Holtz collection. For the rayon seam binding it to was distress with the same inks to match the tag.

I used a wooden stick pin (or Hat Pin) and added broken glass beads, which I added a 3D sticker to the top. The top butterfly got some of Tim’s clock hardware and a glass bubble bead.

I hope everyone is having a wonderful Mother’s Day, thanks so much for letting me share with you today.

New Toys

Sorry my pic’s are so dark, raining again and it’s only 38.

IRL this tag with clock is so bright and colorful.

I ordered the new Clock die from Tim Holtz.

#658571 (Pocket Watch Frame)

A Dear Friend sent me some stamps, (and I hope she is well?)

So both the clock and tag contain her new stamps.

Also a Thank you goes out to Linda Coughlin my order came in just in time to play with this technique.

Hope you have time to check out this Gesso Resist TQ.

Have a wonderful week-end, Stamping Hugs Vada
